    "Your offense matters, but it’s apparently not detrimental enough to those that perpetuate the trope to make any changes"

    Seems like the two statements contradict each other....

    I'm just saying some peoples offensive seems to carry far more weight than others and that doesn't seem right to me

    Wanna know the irony of this? Black celebrities icon themselves for consumer production EVERY DAY.(And I don't bemoan this, I celebrate it actually, everyone should be able to use their public image to sell themselves.)

    So what they're really saying is that black icons are racist in of themselves, and that we should get rid of all of them.

    The bottles, porcelain, and other stuff cheap. Don't care much for pancakes anyway. And I can't have syrup.

    All it takes are a few to burn down anything. Like what has happened recently.

    Was that a danger? I only heard about this because they made the branding change. Never heard any claims they were racist before this thread.

    Most of us work for the man for gods sake. I am a retired business owner and the man were my customers. We all answer to someone else in some way.

    Land o Lakes that depicts Minnesota right. That is where Minneapolis is right! How about a ......... oops no that would racist. Or how about people carrying signs that say ............no racist. Or just show a multicolored cow standing with a pristine Minnesota lake in the background.... no the PETA a-holes or the environmental freaks will freak out. I guess Land onLakes is just screwed.

    Not sure. But yeah it matters to a tiny group of social political activists who demand to impose themselves for power they don't need or deserve given the nonsense involved.

    Silliness....

    A picture of the outline of Minnesota with a lake in the middle would be a solid logo, IMHO... But I didn't major in marketing either...

    The movie "White Chicks" casts a specific race and gender in a negative light. Superficial and dumb. Is that bad now?

    Seems like the new left are not at all tired.

    Yet sensible people can see the farce and improper use of that term.

    Look I despise all actual racism. But I also despise using it when it isn't involved.

    Nah.... the outline of a burning Minneapolis would be far more viral:

    Buy our butter or we will go full Minneapolis on your ass!

    A catchy logo that fits perfectly in today's climate. Hell I myself would buy the butter to protect my community.

    If those images were racist or demeaning that is a horse of a different color IMO.

    If they had not relented to a small group of activists it would have been covered by msm IMO. Given the current environment of perpetual faux outrage over what amounts to absurdity and hyperbole.
